AIS Targets Technical Specification
All distances and times displayed are relative to the own ship’s physical
location.
The velocity of the tracked target is through the water if own ship's selected
speed is water stabilised or over the ground if own ship's selected speed is
ground stabilised.
When a tracked target's predicted range is less than the minimum tracking
range the tracked target is dead reckoned using a constant velocity without
any Lost Target alarms being raised.
Any VisionMaster FT console required to meet the target accuracy scenarios
of IEC60872-1 or IEC60872-2 must be supplied with compass information in
analogue form, or in serial form conforming to IEC61162-2.
If a serial compass is used for tracking, then the message rate must be
approximately 50Hz.

as tracking of the target commences. It will only be cleared when the target
is cancelled. The operator may switch the display of the dots off and on.

7.19.7 Grid
A LAT/LON grid can be displayed on the video circle, the grid values are
taken from the latest valid position of the CCRP, as reported by the position
sensor.
The grid can display between three and six LAT/LON lines, based on the
scale of the display.
The LAT/LON grid will not be displayed when the chart orientation is 45° to
135° and from 225° to 315°.
7.20 Routes
A route plan is a geographical referenced synthetic which can contain up to
200 defined waypoints.
Up to 100 route plans can be saved to a database. Route plans saved to a
database can be editable from any node on the network. If the same route plan
is being edited on more than one node at the same time, the operators at the
other editing nodes are notified when the plan is saved.
The following types of route plan are available:
• Temporary Plan - these can be created and executed at any time;
temporary plans are not saved to the database.
• External Route Plan.

Transceiver Interface Technical Specification
8 Transceiver Interface
8.1 Standby/Transmit
The display and the transceiver are in one of two operational modes, standby
or transmit. In addition, when the transceiver is in standby it may also be
warming up.
Note: The operational mode of the display is considered separate from the
operational mode of the transceiver to which it is connected.
In the event of a Transceiver error the display switches from Transmit to
Standby.
When a display is powered on in an Interswitch system the interswitch
allocates a transceiver for the display to be connected to.
8.1.1 Warm Up
Upon power-on of a “cold” transceiver, a warm up period is required to
prevent damage to the magnetron before it can start transmitting.
Note: The power-on of a display will not necessarily mean the connected
transceiver will start in warm up, as an interswitch in the system may
maintain power to the transceiver even if no displays are currently
connected to it.
Note: BME transceivers give an indication of warm up in the serial
messages transmitted to the display. For use with non-BME
transceivers a transceiver compatibility unit (TCU) must be used. If a
TCU is not used then the interfacing equipment must conform to the
protocols detailed in 65800/HIS/001 Display – Transceiver Interface.
When a display is connected to a transceiver that is in warm up, either
because of interswitching or from power-on, a count for the warm up period
is displayed, starting at 0 and incrementing each second up to a maximum of
999. When the warm up period has ended the count is removed and the
display is in Standby.

Safety Earthing Installation
3 Safety Earthing
All company equipment with internal voltages greater than 50V AC (rms) and
contained in a protective metal chassis must have the chassis connected
directly to earth. This is to stop the chassis becoming live under fault
conditions. The earth link is made by connecting a low resistance conductor
between the equipment’s 6mm stainless steel safety earth stud
(marked with ) and the main ship’s earth.
Particular care must be taken when protecting the connections from
environmental and electro-chemical corrosion. Before assembly, you must
make sure the contact areas are oxide-free and that they are coated with a thin
layer of conducting paste to seal the joints. The most suitable materials for
making connections between the equipment’s earthing bolt and the ship’s
earth are aluminium or tinned copper straps that give a large contact area.
If an aluminium strap is connected to a ship’s stainless steel earth a
zinc-plated washer must be used between the strap and the ship’s earth.
If a tinned copper strap is connected to a ship’s aluminium earth an aluminium
washer (rather than steel) must be used between the strap and the ship’s
earth.
CAUTION
The connecting of the bonding straps must be made from each
piece of equipment to the ship’s earth. You must not loop from
unit to unit. To ensure this is a non-current-carrying connection
no other connection must be made to the earth bolt.

Siting Installation
5 Siting
5.1 General considerations
The performance of the system depends on the correct siting of the system
Scanner Unit (Turning Unit and Antenna). When siting the Scanner Unit you
should consider the following:
1. Compass safe distance.
2. Satisfactory short-range and long-range performance of the radar.
3. Protection of the equipment (cables and waveguide if applicable) from
damage.
4. Ease of access for safe servicing.
5. Minimum practical length of waveguide or S-band coaxial cable, if
applicable.
6. Freedom from blind arcs and false echoes, particularly on the starboard
side of the vessel as own ship usually has to give way to vessels
approaching from this direction. Port side visibility is also extremely
important for monitoring approaching vessels, as these normally pass own
ship on the port side. This is particularly important for vessels that navigate
in narrow channels or canals.
Ship features which commonly obstruct the radar beam are funnels, masts,
Samson posts and crosstrees. A funnel usually throws a shadow aft, which
may or may not be considered serious. However, it is a probable source of
false echoes aft. Shadows thrown by Samson posts and masts will vary in
extent with their size and proximity to the scanner.
If there are obstacles around the selected site, it may be necessary to
position the scanner towards the starboard side of the vessel (Figure 3.1
identifies this as position B). In this example, position B gives the antenna
an unobstructed area for direction of traffic on own ship’s starboard side. In
practice, in the direction of the ship’s bow, a mast or crane can often reflect
or suppress signals transmitted from the antenna.

VisionMaster Ship’s Manual Chapter 3
Installation General considerations
This type of obstruction can cause the system to show large false returns
on the Display and/or fail to detect target returns within a certain dead
angle. On AIS systems this may also cause the radar to lose automatically-
tracked targets that move into the dead area. If the obstacle forms a
significant obstruction, the scanner height may have to be changed to make
sure the angle of depression is a minimum of 5 degrees (see Figure 3.2)
The scanner must be installed only as high as is necessary to clear major
objects. It must also be remembered that when the scanner height is
minimised the short-range performance is improved along with the effects
of sea clutter. Therefore, position the scanner high enough to secure
5 degrees or greater angle of depression. The angle is measured between
the horizontal line drawn from the antenna and the top of the mast or
obstacle.

Turning Unit Installation
WARNING
The Turning Unit must be lifted using the four fixing holes at the
base of the unit. The weight and spread of the Antenna can
cause a freestanding Turning Unit to topple over. The Turning
Unit must therefore be bolted onto its mounting platform before
attaching the Antenna to the Turning Unit. When working on the
X-band Turning Unit with the top casting raised, always make
sure the locking bolt or latch on the stay is in the locked position.
The Turning Unit is bolted to the mounting platform with four Neoprene
isolating pads (65601251) between the Turning Unit casting and the mounting
platform, to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Additional washers or pads may be added to level the mounting so that the
Turning Unit casting does not twist when the bolts are tightened. M10 washers
can be used as shims, or purpose made parts, produced locally, may be used.

2. Set the jumper in the upper pair position (pins 2 and 3) when the
nominal scanner speed is 45 RPM (‘HIGH’).
The link is set during installation and commissioning. The link can be moved
with the PCB in place using long nose pliers. This is not easy because the
PCB mounting bracket obscures the position of the link.
The recommended method is:
1. Loosen the two Pozidriv screws that hold the mounting bracket in place.
2. Slide the whole assembly to the right using the slotted screw holes in
the mounting bracket.
3. Move the assembly forward into a more accessible position for the link
to be moved.
During removal and refitting of the mounting bracket, take care not to
damage the teeth on the pulse disc assembly that run between
opto-couplers mounted on the rear of the Pulse Bearing PCB. Before
re-tightening the two Pozidriv screws, check that both pairs of plain and
single coil washers are above the top surface of the mounting bracket and
not trapped beneath it.
For an easier installation, it is recommended that you complete this
operation, if it is required, before mounting the Turning Unit aloft.

2. To allow for movement between the Turning Unit and mast, whenever
possible, a double bend should be formed in the cable to produce an
offset immediately below the Turning Unit.
3. The cable and assembled connector should be fitted to the Turning Unit
so that a minimum amount of distortion of the cable occurs between the
connector and the pre-formed bend.
4. The cable should be installed and secured in position (using the
waveguide supports) as far as is practicable before the lower
(Transceiver Unit) connector is fitted to the cable. The precautions
given in paragraph 1 above must be observed if a bend is required
adjacent to the Transceiver Unit.
General
A straight connector assembly (Type L45DM) is used to terminate the feeder
cable at each end. The assembly comprises a clamping nut, spring ring,
outer connector, cable cutting guide and compression cap.
Tools required
A a fine-toothed blade hacksaw, a 1¼in open-ended spanner and a 13/8in
open-ended spanner will be sufficient for fitting the connectors to the cable.
Procedure
The procedure that follows applies to the straight connectors at each end of
the feeder cable. It is very important that swarf and other foreign matter is
prevented from entering the cable.
Prepare the cable end and assemble the connector as follows:
1. Using a knife, remove approximately 2in (50mm) from the end of the
jacket.

Configuration Introduction
1 Introduction
The Configuration program provides the service engineer and/or developer with
the tool to commission and service the VisionMaster system.
Note: This chapter describes the system configuration when a user is logged
on as a service engineer. A user logged on as a Developer will have
access to additional configuration features not covered in this chapter.
In general, the order of configurable sections as presented by the Configuration
tool is designed to be the order in which the engineer should progress through
the system configuration.
As features and values are configured the Configuration tool gives a graphical
indication of each item’s configuration status by means of colored status buttons
in the navigation column, see See “Status Buttons” on page 12.
The Validation window also gives a summary of any incorrect data and values
entered. You can validate your configuration settings at any time by accessing
Validate from the File menu. See “Validating, Saving and Exporting” on page 77.

The Resources menu allows the configuration of general-purpose components
of the system that are not necessarily associated with any specific feature.
These are typically hardware components that may have different uses on
different systems. For example, an I/O port is a resource which may be used to
support any number of different functions (sensor data acquisition, track table
output, etc.).
The Resources menu includes the following sub-menu functions:
• Nodes - configures the nodes of the system by specifying a identity name, a
network host name and product type of the node.
• I/O Port Manager - configures all the input and output ports on the system.
• Monitors - configures the network monitors and their communications ports.
• Discrete I/O Summary - provides an overview of discrete I/O outputs and
inputs provided by various components configured into the system (e.g.
PCIO boards), and of the functions in the system that use these.

The Report folder enables the user to
export a system fault report to an external
device such as a USB memory stick.
There are three types of export options
available for reports:
• Screenshot only - this option will
contain only a screenshot of the
system
• Concise - this option will generate a
smaller report than verbose, making it
easier to transfer over slow internet
connections.
• Verbose - this option contains the
same information as the concise
report, however more detail is
included, making the report file larger.
The default export option is concise.
With the exception of ‘screenshot only’
the fault report will include the following
file types:
• xml schema files
• .txt files
• .png file (screenshot)
• .cfg file (config file)
You can quickly access the Reports folder by right clicking on the iHelp button
at the top right of the screen.
To export a fault report do the following:
1. If the report is to be saved on a USB, select the drive and folder in the
navigation field. This will typically be E:\.
2. Click in the Filename field and, using the on-screen keypad, enter a name
for the report. The name would typically be related to the fault, i.e ‘track
fault’ or ‘video error 3’.
3. Select the report type from the three options listed above.
4. If required enter a description of the report in the Description field.
5. Click on the Export button to generate the report. After the files have been
saved to the external device a temporary prompt should appear confirming
that the export was successful.

In order to run the Sperry Marine Chart Installer program you must first connect
the Sperry Marine Chart Radar USB key into one of the available USB sockets
at the rear of the PC.
CAUTION!
.CMAP charts can only be installed after the eToken registration
program has been run in Service Mode, see ‘Appendix A
Registering C-MAP eToken’. EToken registration should be run only
once, after the CMAP USB key has first been installed.

2 Chart Installer
The Chart Installer utility installs CMAP and SevenCs (S-57 and S-63) charts
onto the system.
Initially CMAP charts can only be installed on a local workstation. To install
CMAP charts on all nodes of the system, copy the charts onto a local
workstation then run the chart installer utility on each node to register CMAP
databases.
S57 and S-63 charts are installed using the SevenCs chart handler, which is a
separate program accessed via the Chart Installer utility. The 7Cs Chart
Handler program is run from the Chart Installer screen after S-57 or S-63 chart
formats have been selected, see Figure 6.11, page 16.
In the case of CMAP, the system automatically provides registration of the
databases and a record of updates is kept in the CMAP database. Respectively,
SevenCs engine keeps a record of updates in a log file. The log file or database
record contains, for each update applied to or rejected, the following
information:
• Date and time of application/rejection.
• Complete and unique identification number of update.
• Any anomalies encountered during application.
• Type of application: manual or automatic.

The unique number the chart producer has assigned to the chart unit. This number
may be preceded by an icon symbolizing the respective chart producer.
Chart Title
Chart description.
Charts:
The number of charts contained in the Chart Unit/ TX-97 Folio/ S-57/S-63/S63x
Exchange Set.
Edition
Chart Edition <Major>_<Minor>_<SubMinor>
Issue Date
(“Import” Mode): Date of issue of chart product.
Updated
(“View Installed” Mode): Date of the last update of the chart product.
Permits
The number of charts contained in the S-57/S-63/S63x Exchange Set with valid
permits installed on the system.
Charts
The number of update cells contained in the S-57/S-63/S63x Exchange Set.
3 Select Mode
Installed Chart Units is always ticked by default. This lists all chart units of the
respective chart format currently installed.
Import S-57/S-63 or Import Chart Units (direct ENC) or Import TX-97 Charts (the
name varies according to the chart format) starts the import of charts. Clicking on
the Browse button below allows for searching various data sources.
Ticking Show Overview offers various possibilities to select and view charts. For
more information see chapter 6 Overview Mode.
4 Action
However, if the chart permits are kept separately they must be loaded first.
Having once been loaded the chart permits will be permanently stored. Thus the
respective charts can be read and displayed at any time. Even if you should ever
delete one of these charts you will still be able to smoothly reload it.
TIP:
It is recommended always to load all chart permits. This will ensure that all
ordered charts can be smoothly loaded.
4. Click Open.
The chart permits are loaded.
Note:
Import S-57/S-63/S63x, Import Chart Units or Import TX-97 Charts must be
selected. Otherwise the button Install Charts is not visible.
After they have been loaded the charts can be used without any restriction until
they are removed.
directENC Only
In case a chart unit of the same name already exists ChartHandler asks whether
this unit shall be replaced (see below).
S-63/S63x Only
In case the Permit Status is (valid for several charts) only those
charts with valid permits will be installed (see chapter 4.1 Read Permit Files).
For example, although the Primar Base CD contains world coverage only those
charts the permits of which have been previously installed will be transferred.
Thus it may happen that some data files of an exchange set could not be imported.
In that case ChartHandler asks whether the incomplete chart unit shall be
installed anyway (see below).
NOTE:
Before you can load charts the respective chart permits must be loaded (see
chapter 4.1 Read Permit Files). Otherwise the Install Charts button will not
be available.
NOTE:
If charts to be loaded include a disclaimer, this text will be displayed first in a
separate window. Please read the text and accept it. Then the charts will be
loaded.
Note:
This button is only available when mode Import S-57/S-63 is selected.
Displaying updates
At the top of the window the available updates are listed. Below this list you can
select the name of a cell you need updates for from a drop down list.
Alternatively, after clicking in the edit pane you can type the first letters of the
name of that cell to find it faster.
Purge Cell List deletes all update messages listed for the respective chart unit.
Close on the right hand side closes the update display and returns to the previous
view.
NOTE:
There is no problem if you have accidentally removed a chart or if you want to
access a chart again which has already been removed. You only must reload
the respective chart, e.g. from the CD. The original chart permit remains
stored even after the chart has been removed.
The charts contained in the database can easily be updated. However, this requires
update files to be available. These files can be marked from .000 up to .999.
Due to various reasons, e.g. a wrong update number, it may happen that updates
cannot be completely applied. In that case a warning message will be displayed
(see below).
5 Advanced Functions
When Show advanced functions in the bottom left corner of the dialogue window
is ticked, three additional buttons will be displayed. They are (left to right):
Order Charts
Write ECDIS Passport
Show S-63 certificate
Note:
There are two versions of the Installation Passport, Classic and Advanced.
While the Classic version just requires the Installation Name, the Advanced
version offers to enter further information, e.g. Vessel Name, Vessel Type, etc.
Some of these fields are mandatory
NOTE:
If you use more than one dongle you must create one Installation Passport with
a distinct name per dongle.
Clicking on the Help button will display this document using Acrobat
provided it is installed on the system.

Introduction Fault Reporting and First Line Servicing
1 Introduction
Fault diagnosis to component level is not possible without the use of specialised
test equipment.
The majority of the printed circuit boards (PCBs) are assembled using surface-
mount techniques.
Service repair is therefore by module (PCB) replacement only.
The module may be covered by the Service Exchange scheme.
1.1 Contact
If a unit has a fault, please contact you supplier or local dealer, or if on
International trade, contact:
or:
Request support online by going to www.sperrymarine.northropgrumman.com
and clicking on the customer support link.
For general non-urgent enquiries, the following e-mail address is also
available:

Fault Reporting and First Line Servicing Fault Identification and Isolation
For the Power Supply to operate the DU Data+ and DU Data- signal lines
must be active. It is not necessary for serial data to be present: a DC voltage
>2.5V between the lines will start the Power supply.
Note: A test link LKA on Power Supply PCBs can be set to position 1–2 to
make the Power Supply operate independently of the DU Data input.
This link must only be used in this position as a service aid. It must
be reset to position 2–3 for normal operation otherwise the PCIO will
not be able to switch the Transceiver on or off.

Chapter 7 VisionMaster Ship’s Manual
Fault Identification and Isolation Fault Reporting and First Line Servicing
As the antenna rotates azimuth pulses are produced. Each pulse causes the
Transceiver or TCU to send one character of data. If the antenna stops
rotating, synthetic azimuth pulses are produced by the Pulse Bearing PCB to
maintain the serial comms between the Transceiver and the PCIO. The
frequency of the messages is reduced under this condition.
If azimuth pulses are lost no messages will be sent to the PCIO causing a “TX
Comms” alarm.

VisionMaster Ship’s Manual Chapter 7
Fault Reporting and First Line Servicing Transceiver Module Overview
The presence of data on the serial data link, when the Display is switched
on, is detected by the power supply, which then becomes active.
The power supply includes a Power Factor Correction circuit, and a number
of switching regulators to generate the necessary voltage supplies.
Overcurrent detection circuits protect the power supply against overloads on
its outputs.
2.7.4.4 Microwave
The Transceiver uses a conventional three-port circulator to direct the path
of the microwave energy to and from the antenna. A magnetron, coupled to
the circulator, produces the RF energy that is transmitted.
A solid-state limiter, coupled to the circulator, protects the Receiver from
high-powered microwave signals from the magnetron, or adjacent radars.
On Scanner Units and Transceivers fitted with ‘additional features’ options,
a biased limiter is fitted in place of the standard limiter.
A signal from the Trigger PCB is used to enable swept attenuation to be
applied to the solid-state limiter. This reduces the system sensitivity at short
ranges.

Chapter 7 VisionMaster Ship’s Manual
Automatic Start-up Sequence Fault Reporting and First Line Servicing
2.7.4.5 Receiver
The receiver consists of the following:
• low noise amplifier;
• mixer;
• linear pre amplifier;
• logarithmic amplifier;
• video amplifier.
The mixer has a 60MHz output, which is amplified by the linear pre-amplifier
followed by the logarithmic amplifier. When the output is detected, the
resulting video signal is then further amplified before transmission to the
PCIO.
The Receiver also includes an AFC system. Once the Receiver has been
tuned, the AFC system makes sure the Receiver remains in tune during
variations in tuning due to thermal drift of the mixer, magnetron etc.
The operator can select between manual tuning and automatic tuning. A
signal from the Trigger PCB is used to select the mode of operation. A signal
from the AFC circuit is fed to the trigger circuit to indicate the state of tune
of the Receiver. This signal is at its minimum value when the Receiver is
correctly tuned.
2.7.5.1 Start-up
7–34 65900011
VisionMaster Ship’s Manual Chapter 7
Fault Reporting and First Line Servicing Automatic Start-up Sequence
The Power Supply in the Transceiver is only active during normal operation
when there is a PCIO connected to it. The RS422 serial data stream from
the PCIO is used to drive an opto-coupler in the PSU. This detects the
presence of either polarity voltage and enables the flyback converter in the
PSU.
The RS422 serial data stream from the PCIO enters the Input Board on
connector TSB1, 2 (as “DU DATA +” and “DU DATA-”). It is then passed to
the Trigger Board via PLYB 16, 17, and then on to the PSU via PLTH 11, 12
(as “PSU START” and “PSU START RTN”).
For test purposes the PSU can be turned on in the absence of a serial data
stream by linking pins 1–2 on LKA (PSU).

Transceiver BITE Data Fault Reporting and First Line Servicing
Transceiver BITE data is only approximate and must not be used for making
adjustments. A deviation from the above values shows a possible fault
condition.
2.8.3 Tellbacks
Within the serial data transmitted by the Transceiver are a number of status
tellbacks to show the Transceiver status. This data is monitored and shown
on the Display unit.
The following tellbacks are used:
2.8.3.1 Transmit
This bit is set if the controlling device requests transmit and:
• The transceiver has completed its warm up.
• The Heading Marker has not failed.
• There is not a Message Fail error.
• There is not a Spark Gap error.
2.8.3.2 Inhibit
This bit is set whenever the Display unit requests ‘Transmit’ and the
transmitter is inhibited. For example, when the Radar Silence input is active
on units fitted with the ‘additional features’ option.

Bandwidth
2.8.3.4 Wide-band
This bit shows the bandwidth selected for the receiver; when set to “1”
“wideband” is selected.
The selected bandwidth is linked to the pulse-width as shown in Table 7.
2.8.3.5 AFC On
This bit indicates the tuning mode selected for the receiver; when set to “1”
AFC mode is selected. For some Transceivers, this bit may be permanently
set to “1” as a result of internal link settings.
2.8.3.6 Timer
This bit indicates the status of the magnetron “warm-up” timer within the
Transceiver. It is set to “0” for a preset period of 180 seconds after the
Transceiver is turned on. The timer lets the magnetron cathode reach its
operating temperature before the HT is applied.
After the warm-up delay the Transceiver can be turned off. If it is turned back
on within 10 seconds the timer will be overridden, letting it immediately
return to the transmit condition.

Link 1 selects LOCAL or GLOBAL setting. If the system is in the Local Mode,
a Display Unit can only change the Transceiver to which it is connected and
select either master or slave mode. If the system is in the Global Mode, any
display can completely re-configure the entire system.
Inserting Link 2 at position 2-3 loads the default settings at power-up. For a
2-way Interswitch that is fully populated, the default state will be as shown
below:
• DUA master to TXA DUB master to TXB
• DUC slave to TXA DUD slave to TXA
For a 6-way Interswitch the default setting will be one to one connection.

4.2.10 Interconnections
All connections to the Interswitch physically plug directly into the Interswitch
logic PCB.
The cables to the Turning Units/Transceivers consist of a quad twisted pair
cable with overall screen for Trigger, SART Video and the bi-directional serial
data, and a co-ax cable for Video.
The cables to the Display Units consist of two quad twisted pair cables. One
provides the Transceiver signals for Trigger, SART Video, bi-directional serial
data, bi-directional interswitch control data, positive and negative power. The
Transceiver video input and output are via co-ax cables, as is the output
MIST.
The Interswitch Unit has one External Transceiver MIST co-ax input, one
External Display MIST co-ax output. The 2-Way Interswitch has four co-ax
Display MIST outputs; the 6-Way six co-ax Display MIST outputs.

Gain The ratio of the signal output of a system to the signal input of the
system expressed in dB. A gain of 10 would imply that the signal
power had increased by a factor of 10. There are two general
usages of the term in radar:
(a) antenna gain (or gain factor) is the ratio of the power

Heading Line Line that projects forward showing where own ship is headed
relative to the targets seen on the video circle.
Heading Marker A heading marker on the display provides an important reference
to direction. When the antenna is pointing ahead, it sends a pulse
to the radar display that causes a line to show on the screen that
represents the vessel's head. You can refer echoes displayed on
the screen to your vessel's head and get the relative bearing of
the echo. If the heading marker is not pointing exactly ahead,
relative bearings will be wrong. You can quickly check for any
such mistake by heading toward a small prominent visible object
and see if the radar echo appears under the heading marker.

Nautical mile The nautical mile is closely related to the geographical mile which
(NM) is defined as the length of one minute of arc on the earth's
equator. By international agreement, the nautical mile is now
defined as 1852 meters (1.15 standard miles).
National Marine An association of manufacturers that has published widely used
Electronics standards for navigation and other marine sensor communication.
Association Their published standards include NMEA 0183, Standard for
(NMEA) Interfacing Marine Electronic Navigational Devices, Version 1.5,
December 1987, and Version 2.0, January 1992. This standard is
commonly referred to as simply "NMEA 0183." The ECDIS is
designed to use messages from any navigation, weather, or
machinery sensor that conforms to this standard.

marker is shown at the appropriate bearing.
O
Opto-coupler A component capable of optically transferring an electrical signal
between two circuits and, at the same time, electrically isolating
these circuits from each other. It consists of an infrared LED
emitting section at its input, and a silicon photodetector, at its
output, with other circuitry sometimes included as part of the
device.

Access Memory which does not hold data when the power is turned off
Range Rings A set of concentric circles labeled by distance from the central
point, useful for judging distance (especially from own ship).
Relative Motion Own ship is shown at a fixed point in the video circle (normally the
– Relative Trails centre). All target trails are shown relative to own ship’s
movement. This means stationary targets will have trails if own
ship is moving.
Relative Motion Own ship is shown at a fixed point in the video circle (usually the
– True Trails centre). Target trails show their direction. Staionary targets do not
produce trails.
Resolver A type of rotary electrical transformer that is used for measuring
the angle of a rotating machine such as an antenna platform. The
primary winding of the transformer, fixed to the rotor, is excited by
a sinusoidal electric current, which by electromagnetic induction
causes currents to flow in two secondary windings fixed at right
angles to each other on the stator. The relative magnitudes of the
two secondary currents are measured and used to determine the
angle of the rotor relative to the stator.
Rhumb Line A line on a sphere that cuts all meridians at the same angle; the
path taken by a ship or plane that maintains a constant compass
direction.
Route A set of waypoints that define the intended path of travel.

coordinates (points), by direction and distance from one given set
of coordinates (True Vector), or a point in a vector space defined
by one set of coordinates relative to the origin of a coordinate
system (Relative Vector).
Video Circle The area on the Display that shows the radar image.
W
Watch Alarm The purpose of a watch alarm system is to monitor bridge activity
and detect operator disability which could lead to marine
accidents. The system monitors the awareness of the Officer of
the Watch (OOW) and automatically alerts the Master or another
qualified OOW if for any reason the OOW becomes incapable of
performing theOOW's duties. This purpose is achieved by a series
of indications and alarms to alert first the OOW and, if he is not
responding, then to alert the Master or another qualified OOW.
Additionally, the watch alarm may provide the OOW with a means
of calling for immediate assistance if required. The watch alarm
should be operational whenever the ship's heading or track
control system is engaged, unless inhibited by the Master.
Waveguide Hollow rectangular, oval or round tube used to convey microwave
RF energy from one point to another in a radar transmitter or
receiver.
